Bree Brown

New Bree, who dis?

Cliche? Maybe, but for me It couldn’t be more true. I feel as though every 4 years or so, the person I am, the version of Bree evolves into someone I never imagined I could be, which brings us here.

I always thought I would have to choose between either my love of science or my love of beauty.

14-year-old me used to find just as much happiness in creating a new smoky eye or buying a new lipstick shade, as dissecting a frog or creating chemical reactions (my fave to this day is the volcano experiment)

Today I don’t have to choose and that is sooo freeing! I get to work in science communication for a wellness/beauty brand that is all about pushing beyond conventional science.

I also get to continue my love of skincare & beauty here with you all. Educating, myth busting and trying all the things so you know what really works and what’s 💩

So much more in store for you guys, including consistency from me 🙂
